Dan R. - I didn't know this place was still around. I worked here as the bus boy for Bill Kenny who owned it in the early 1980's while still in middle school. This is the place to go for coffee from all over the world. Miss working here and living in beautiful Benicia.

Jack P. - My wife and I have been wanting to try this new Mexican restaurant in Madera near the high school. So today for lunch we stopped for a quick bite to eat. This is a small, eight table place without much in the way of decor. I'm sure in time decorations will go up and the place will develop some character. The music from the stereo was a little loud which made hear the gentleman taking our orders a little difficult but we got through it. I ordered the burrito supreme and my wife ordered the quesadillas. Both chicken and both were about $5.50 each. We also ordered drinks and out total was around $15. Not bad for the food we got. The food came to us very quickly and the presentation was very nice. I enjoyed my burrito which was a very nice size. My wife liked hers too and I even snuck a taste when she wasn't looking. We both left very full and my wife had to get a box for the rest of hers (if she doesn't eat it by 8pm, its free game). I would have given this place five stars if it weren't for two things. They charged me 50 cents to us my credit card. I am sorry that is a cost of doing business. Mark up your product to cover the transaction fees for credit and debit cards. It's pretty tacky to add on another fee when I am trying to pay you. Here is a tip to those working on tips, for me it will come out of yours if I have to pay a fee for a credit card. The second issue I had was charging for refills when the soda machine is out in the middle of the restaurant for self-service. I paid $1.79 for a medium drink, there is enough of a profit margin in that price for refills. But after thinking about their location, maybe this is something the owner had to implement because of the high school crowd. A medium soda with five kids sharing a nacho might increase the food cost on that order. So I think next time I am there I order a large without ice. Over all I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking to not wait in long lines at Sal's or Burrito King on Sunday. If you're looking for a quick in and out lunch, this is your place. If you're on a date and are looking for a place that won't keep you from buying popcorn at the movies, this is your place. They also serve hamburgers for that one person in your group that just won't do Mexican. A three taco plate with rice and beans is only $5.00.

taytaypernicone - Ever heard of classy and casual? Cheesecake Factory fits that description perfectly. This restaurant is all over the place, either as a stand-alone or apart of a shopping mall. The one that seems to be the busiest whenever I visit, is the joint located in Mission Viejo Mall; I have never stepped foot in that place without having to wait at least 10 minutes, but hey, that means good business right? Inside the restaurant, the first thing you notice is the dimness of, well, everywhere. Not so dark that you cannot see, but dim enough to give a relaxing vibe to the whole place. As to not contrast with the non-bright lighting, the walls are painted a neutral color and the tables, chairs, and booths are kept a classic brown with plush tan accessories. The neutral colors and tan accessories often come off as gold, as the dimmed light hits everything just the right way. Needless to say, if you enjoy countless hours of bright daylight, this restaurant may not be the choice for you. All these characteristics sounds as if you’d be in a top-notch restaurant for fine dining, but that is not the case. Cheesecake is basically the best of both worlds, with its seemingly endless menu to the kind customer service; classy but casual. You’ll definitely be hungry after hearing about what Cheesecake Factory has to offer. Well, first of all, there would be no reason to call this place Cheesecake Factory if cheesecake wasn’t offered. Ever gone camping and roasted marshmallows and crushed it between a block of your favorite chocolate and 2 pieces of graham crackers? The marshmallow all gooey and sticky, but desirably delicious. Imagine all of that, but in cheesecake form. Base layer of the cake is pure, rich, dark chocolate; the middle layer is buttermilk vanilla, creamy, light, and smooth enough to melt on your tongue. Next comes toppings, and by Jove there are a lot of them. First there is a single layer of graham cracker crumbles, coating the 2-layer cake like sprinkles on a cupcake. Following the crumbles, the megastar of this cheesecake: the melted marshmallow sauce that coats the entire top of the cake with slight brown and black smudges on it to give the appearance of a roasted marshmallow. This fantastically evened out and smeared mess of an astounding, but simple, wad of marshmallows drips off either side of the cake, creating an amazing drizzle effect. On top of that concoction is the bits and pieces of an actual dark chocolate bar that are stood upright in the gooiness of the marshmallow. It’s chocolate, what else do I need to say. To finish it off, there are 3 towers of whipped cream standing on either sides of the cake and one on top for a delicate touch, and what’s this cake without a few more graham cracker crumbs. Cheesecake also offers an exclusive menu called the “Skinnylicious Menu”, specifically catering to those who are still looking for a fulfilling meal, without all the filling calories. Such items on this menu include flatbread pizzas, over-sized salads you can share with a friend, small portion appetizers such as macaroni and cheese, steamed edamame, mini beef tacos, and sandwiches filled with so many veggies you hardly think it has only 550 calories or less. Not only does cheesecake offer amazing food and good service, not to mention the convenient locations, but it also has become a part of my family’s recommendation list. My father actually maintained a job at one Cheesecake close to me and because of his countless memorization tasks I have helped him on for the ever-growing menu, I have come to love everything this place has to offer. He has told me, off first hand, that this place is not people who constantly “count calories” because they would have a heart attack just looking at the calorie content in the sauce for the typical pasta marinara. The portions can also become quite big once you leave the appetizer section of the twelve plus page menu, so choose the Skinnylicious Menu choices for smaller portions, or order off the Kid’s Meal. Although the portion sizes may be big, there is nothing wrong with going big when it comes to appearance. You can dress up or down for this type of restaurant, whether it is a gown and heels for fine dining, or casual jeans and sneakers for a night out with friends, all are welcome, but better hurry, the cheesecake is going fast.

Paul S. - One of my favorite restaurants in Mountain View. Always great service and nice fairly priced food and drinks. One of the best things is that it is quite most of the time and has cabins where you can have a nice lunch without having to yell with ample space on the table.
